Konflikti Kiinan merellä

[PSS]

Kyllä, eikä USAkaan mitään tule tekemään jos/kun Kiina hyökkää Taiwaniin. Jos yli miljoona kuolee niin ehkä Kiina suljetaan pois jostain urheilukilpailuista ja vedetään hetkeksi suurlähettiläät kotiin jne.

Länsimailla olisi ollut mahdollisuus tunnustaa Taiwanin itsenäisyys jo vuosikymmeniä sitten mutta sitä ei tehty. Ennen Kiinan atomipommeja se olisi tietenkin ollut viisaampaa mutta kuten täälläkin on usein todettu: suurvalloilla ei ole ystäviä vaan ainoastaan omia etuja ajettavanaan ja usein ne edutkin ovat hyvin lyhytnäköisiä pidemmässä juoksussa jopa niille itselleen haitallisia, etenkin USA tapauksessa. Mitään parempaa moraali on varsinkin aivan turha odottaa.

Itse asiassa Taiwan oli hetken aikaa jopa YK:n turvallisuusneuvoston jäsen, mutta Manner-Kiinan tunnustaminen nosti sen turvallisuusneuvostoon ja tiputti Taiwanin. Ja Manner-Kiina suhtautuu aika jyrkästi niihin, jotka myötäilevät Taiwania. Se on ankarasti joko/tai. Ainoa keino saada Manner-Kiina tuossa enää mitenkään kuriin, olisi kaikkien länsimaiden (ja Venäjänkin) jyrkkä yhteisrintama. Sitä odotellessa - no, en pidätä hengitystäni.

A long-running territorial dispute between Japan and South Korea has burst on to the global stage after their vice foreign ministers failed to attend a press conference in Washington with their US counterpart.

South Korean’s first vice-foreign minister, Choi Jong-kun, and Japan’s vice foreign minister, Takeo Mori, had been due to appear alongside the US deputy secretary of state, Wendy Sherman, on Wednesday after the three countries discussed regional tensions, including Chinese military activity in the South China Sea and North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme.

However, Sherman took questions from reporters alone after Choi and Mori pulled out of the news conference after a disagreement over the Takeshima/Dokdo islands, which are administered by South Korea but claimed by Japan.

Sherman noted “there are some bilateral differences between Japan and the Republic of Korea that are continuing to be resolved”, but said the cancellation of the joint news conference was not related to the earlier trilateral meeting, which she described as “constructive and substantive”.

Hours later, Masashi Mizobuchi, a spokesperson at the Japanese embassy in Washington, said Japanese officials had withdrawn from the media appearance in protest at a recent visit to the disputed islands by the chief of the South Korean police.

Mizobuchi said Japan had “lodged a strong protest” over the visit. “Under these circumstances, we have decided that it is inappropriate to hold a joint press conference,” he said, according to Reuters.

Kim Chang-yong, commissioner-general of South Korea’s national police agency, landed on the rocky islets on Tuesday, media reports said, in the first visit by the country’s police chief for 12 years.

“We cannot accept this at all and regard it as extremely unfortunate, considering that [the islands] are clearly an inherent part of Japan’s territory in view of historical facts and international laws,” Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, Hirokazu Matsuno, said.

The islands – also known as the Liancourt Rocks after a French whaling ship that was almost wrecked there in 1849 – lie 225km (140 miles) off the east coast of South Korea.

Chinese coastguard vessels have blocked and used water cannon on two Philippine supply boats heading to a disputed shoal occupied by Filipino marines in the South China Sea, drawing an angry protest from Manila.

The Philippines’ foreign secretary warned on Thursday that its vessels are covered under a mutual defence treaty with the United States.

Teodoro Locsin Jr said no one was hurt in the incident in the disputed waters on Tuesday, but the two supply ships had to abort their mission to provide food supplies to Filipino forces occupying the Second Thomas Shoal, which lies off western Palawan province in the Philippines’ internationally recognised exclusive economic zone.

Taiwan has opened a de facto embassy in Lithuania in a diplomatic breakthrough for the island, brushing aside Beijing’s strong opposition to the move which again expressed its anger and warned of consequences.

Taipei announced on Thursday it had formally opened an office in Lithuania using the name Taiwan, a significant diplomatic departure that defied a pressure campaign by Beijing.

Lithuania revealed in July it had agreed to let self-ruled Taiwan open a representative office using its name, the island’s first new diplomatic outpost in Europe in 18 years.

That move prompted a fierce rebuke by China, which withdrew its ambassador to Lithuania and demanded Vilnius do the same, which it eventually did.

Tunnustaa Saaren itsenäisyys vuosikymmeniä sitten tai jopa ennen Kiinan atomipommena?

Nyt taitaa unohtua se että ei ole ollut mitään tunnustettavaa. Diktatuuri Kuomintang ajoi yhden Kiinan politiikkaa jossa se olisi ollut kokonaisen Kiinan laillinen hallitsija.


Siitähän nyt vallan erikoinen mikä mikä maa olisi tullut, jos länsimaat olisi tunnustanut ",maan" itsenäiseksi jonka hallitsijat ei edes itse halua itsenäistyä.

Kannattaa huomata myös, että Taiwan on saari ja tuo saaren hallinto käyttää nimeä ROC. Republic of China.







Taiwanin itsenäisyysliikekin ajaa eroa ROCista , eikä komukka Kiinasta. Tavoitteena luoda Taiwanin valtio.

The Taiwan independence movement is a political movement to seek formal international recognition of Taiwan as an independent, sovereign state and in opposition to Chinese unification. Many of who advocate “independence” from the Republic of China (not to be confused with the People's Republic of China) and the formation of the "Republic of Taiwan".

Joo, vedin mutkaa suoraksi, sori siitä. Muistelin vain sitä että Taiwan on pyytänyt kansainvälistä tunnustusta itsenäisyydelleen ja on sitä saanutkin kourallisesta kehitysmaita. Länsimaita on siis turha syyttää tästäkään asiasta, kuten erheellisesti tein. Nyt tunnustukset ovat joka tapauksessa myöhässä, tai saahan sitä tunnustaa "mutta paha on tulla ottamaan" Linnaa vähän lainaten.

Taiwan has become the first Viper operator anywhere in the world to field combat-capable F-16Vs.

Taiwanese President Tsai Ing Wen was at Chiayi Air Base in southwest Taiwan today to formally declare the resident 4th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) fully operational, as the first ROCAF wing to be equipped with F-16Vs. She inspected the flight line at the base and was photographed seated in the cockpit of an F-16V, as seen at the top of this story. According to reports, 64 of the jets have now been upgraded, but it’s not clear if all of these are assigned to Chiayi. The event had been expected to take place earlier in the year but was delayed, reportedly by a combination of the COVID pandemic and a number of accidents involving ROCAF aircraft.

Taiwan Has Declared Its Upgraded F-16V Fighter Jets Fully Operational

As tensions with China rumble on, the Taiwanese president formally inducted the first wing of modernized F-16V aircraft.

www.thedrive.com

Originally, the ROCAF expected to receive 144 F-16Vs, which are conversions of its existing F-16A/B jets, but this number has since been reduced to 141 through attrition in its existing Viper fleet. Lockheed Martin upgraded the first two ROCAF F-16Vs, the first of which took to the air in October 2015, and these served as pattern aircraft for Taiwan's Aerospace Industry Development Center (AIDC) to complete the remaining upgrades locally.

Work to retrofit the whole fleet is due for completion by the end of 2023. The next wing to be equipped with the upgraded jets will be the 5th TFW at Hualien Air Base on the northeast coast. While the F-16V name is applied almost universally to these aircraft, AIDC still confusingly refers to them as F-16A/B Block 20 MLUs.

Although we’ve already discussed in some depth the advantages of the Taiwanese F-16V configuration, it’s worth noting that these fighters now possess the Northrop Grumman AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR), with an active electronically scanned array (AESA), providing much-increased detection and engagement ranges. You can read all about the particular features that the SABR brings to the F-16 this previous feature of ours.

China has officially downgraded its diplomatic ties with Lithuania to the “charge d’affaires” level in protest at Taiwan establishing a de facto embassy in Vilnius.

China’s move was in protest at Baltic country allowing the opening of a diplomatic office using the name Taiwan

That move prompted a fierce rebuke by China, which withdrew its ambassador to Lithuania and demanded Vilnius do the same, which it eventually did.

China also halted freight trains to Lithuania and stopped issuing food export permits.

The opening of the Vilnius office is the latest sign that some Baltic and central European countries are seeking closer relations with Taiwan, even if that angers China.

In May, Lithuania announced it was quitting China’s 17+1 cooperation forum with central and eastern European states, calling it “divisive”.

Politicians in the Czech Republic have also pushed for closer ties with Taiwan.

Eli jos EU tunnustaa Taiwanin niin Kiina katkoo suhteensa ja mököttää, mutta ei ajaudu tappeluun sen takia?

Technology retailers have warned that they may have insufficient stock to meet Black Friday demand due to delays in the supply chain.

The IMRG, the UK's Online Retail Association, said the industry had seen delays to stock arriving.
"The real pinch points are Asia," Andy Mulcahy, IMRG insights director, said.

Shortages of drivers and warehouse staff to send out purchased goods are also a worry for businesses, according to Mr Mulcahy.

Black Friday, which is less than a week away, is an annual event where retailers slash prices to entice shoppers ahead of the Christmas period.

It is common for retailers to buy a high number of units specifically for Black Friday, sometimes even months in advance.

After squandering its lead because of a half decade of problems modernizing its manufacturing, that's where Intel has been headed. The Silicon Valley icon ceded processor market share to longtime rival AMD, lost the Mac business to Apple's in-house M-series chips, and fell behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and Samsung in making chips.

Pat Gelsinger, Intel's new chief executive, wants to take the other course: restore the company's status as the leader of the semiconductor industry, an enormously profitable innovator fueling each year's advances in phones, PCs, smartwatches, internet services and everything else in our digital lives. Getting there requires a series of major manufacturing upgrades and delivery of a quartet of new chips those upgrades will enable: Alder Lake for gaming PCs this year and laptops next year, Ponte Vecchio and Sapphire Rapids for servers in 2022, and Meteor Lake for PCs in 2023. Intel will have to get everything right after years of getting much of it wrong.

With "a decade of bad decisions, this doesn't get fixed overnight," Gelsinger says in an interview. "But the bottom is behind us and the slope is starting to feel increasingly strong."

Intel's chip recovery plan could restore US manufacturing prowess

The chipmaker's come-from-behind strategy is risky and will take years, even with government subsidies.

More fabs are on the way, too. In an enormous empty patch of dirt at its existing Arizona site, Intel has just begun building fabs 52 and 62 at a total cost of $20 billion, set to make Intel's most advanced chips, starting in 2024. Later this year, it hopes to announce the US location for its third major manufacturing complex, a 1,000-acre site costing about $100 billion. The spending commitment makes this year's $3.5 billion upgrade to its New Mexico fab look cheap.

The goal is to restore the US share of chip manufacturing, which has slid from 37% in 1990 to 12% today. "Over the decade in front of us, we should be striving to bring the US to 30% of worldwide semiconductor manufacturing," Gelsinger says.

Senpä takia EUV litografialla varustettuja tehtaita on nykyään vai TSMC:llä, Samsungilla ja Intelillä. Muut toimivat vanhalla tekniikalla jossa viivanleveys on suurempi. Kiinahan on yrittänyt ostaa EUV laitteita, mutta jenkit ovat laittaneet maan vientikieltoon ja laitteiden ainoa toimittaja, hollantilainen ASML, noudattaa USA:n tahtoa. Lisäksi amerikkalainen Micron ja etelä-korealainen Hynix aikovat hankkia EUV-laitteita tehtailleen. Hynixin tapaus on mielenkiintoinen sillä sen on tarkoitus asentaa laitteet Kiinassa olevalle tehtaalleen. USA ei katso sitä suopein silmin ja näillä näkymin estää suunnitelman toteuttamisen.

China’s launch of a nuclear-capable missile carrying a hypersonic glide vehicle also included the unprecedented launch of a separate missile from that vehicle, according to multiple reports.

The test showed China’s development of its strategic, nuclear-capable weapons as more advanced than any had thought, surprising Pentagon officials, the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal reported.

The test, thought to have taken place in July, made global headlines when it emerged last month that the vehicle had flown into space and completed a partial orbit of the Earth.

Now, the test is believed to have also included the release of a separate missile that rocketed away, falling harmlessly into the South China Sea.

Maailmanlaajuinen komponenttipula on iskenyt nyt muistitoimituksiin. Tällä hetkellä DDR5-muisteja ei ole kaupoista saatavilla joko ollenkaan tai hyvin heikosti.

Alder Lake -kokoonpanojaan rakentelevien täytyy tyytyä ainakin tällä hetkellä DDR4-muisteihin. Syynä DDR5-muistien pulaan on virranhallinnasta vastaavien PMIC-piirien toimitusongelmat.

Wccftech arvioi, että DDR5-muistien toimitusvaikeudet saattavat kestää pitkälle vuoteen 2022 saakka.

DDR5 lanseerattiin muutenkin vasta äskettäin eikä uusien RAM-sukupolvien hankkiminen julkaisun yhteydessä ole koskaan ollut mitenkään järkevästi perusteltavissa: hinta paljon edellistä sukupolvea korkeampi mutta suorituskyky käytännössä identtinen kunnes valmistusprosessi alkaa kehittyä ja kaulaa edelliseen alkaa tosissaan syntyä. Eli ei mikään suuren suuri menetys tuo, muiden komponenttien heikko saatavuus onkin sitten eri juttu. Taiwan on jo pitkään ollut kriittinen koko ko. teollisuudenalalle.
